so Zach and I have been cleaning/rearranging his garage for the past few weeks and now it is all ready, set up, and lovely and we started painting!

Here are some shots of the paintings I'm working on for my upcoming June 4th, four person show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery (with the lovely Cooper). It's amazing to have the space to do big paintings, as well as the ventilation to do oils! yay!

Saturday was the opening of the all-women show Glass, Cinder and Thorns at 323 East Gallery in Michigan! I wasn't able to attend, but here are the pieces I submitted. It was very scary to mail them all the way to Michigan, but they survived!These pieces were based loosely around the story of Little Red Riding Hood, as the show was centered around new interpretations of fairy tales.

here are some things I've been working on, some for others and some for myself:Zach gave me this chair, for a play called The Rainbow Room, which I am doing the set design for.Its a lovely chair that had some not so lovely green ripped fabric, so I recovered it, as well as its twin.

pocket helped a lot.

and here we have a continuation of my reupholstering kick, but this is a project I've been meaning to do for years, since my good friend's mom gave me this little footstool. it looks much classier now, yes?

the insides were interesting...hay and burlap. I think this is a real old footstool.

ta da!

and here are some "scales" that will soon adorn a puppet, Trinkulous, I am making for Starmites- an Intergalactic Comic Book Musical.fun fun fun

and here is a look at my giant (about 4' across) dream catcher/chandelier I am making for the show at La Luz in June with my buddy Cooper!

finally, here is the painting I sold (yay!) at La Luz de Jesus' group show last friday!
